Note: Buried in Evergreen Cemetery, in Lot Old.P.198, with no gravestone. She was the daughter of Thomas T. and Elizabeth JONES HARRIS. No age was noted on her Death Certificate. In the 1880 Census of Fairfield, IA, there is a listing for Thomas and Elizabeth HARRIS with seven children, among them a daughter Ellen, age 3, which would make her about 10 years old when she died. Birth Certificates were not required at the County level in Iowa until July, 1880, so one would not exist for this child.
